Richard Roundtree – Richard Roundtree, aka Shaft, made a career of being the picture of masculine health. It was shocking when Roundtree discovered he was among the 1 percent of men diagnosed with a male form of breast cancer in 1993. After remaining silent about his diagnosis for five years, the actor made a decision to go public with his diagnosis in an effort to help other men who may not have realized the disease could strike them.
